Everyday Fare With Extraordinary Flair
These Spanakopita Puff Pastry Bites have a crunchy, buttery puff pastry crust paired with a flavorful garlic, dill, kale, and feta filling. They are easy to make and perfect for your next party!
Given the choice between a big, one-plate meal (like lasagna or roast chicken), or a meal of several small dishes, I will choose the small dishes at least nine out of ten times.
That tenth time I just need roast chicken, lol.…
Zucchini Roll Ups (aka Zucchini Rollatini) are filled with a savory cheese mixture and topped with tomato sauce similar to stuffed shells but with just 10g net carbs per serving. If your family likes cheesy pasta dishes, this veggie-based Zucchini Roll Ups recipe is sure to be a hit! It tastes similar to lasagna or stuffed shells, but with zucchini instead of noodles. If you have a ton of zucchini to use up, this recipe is the perfect dish to try!...
With artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, sundried tomatoes, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil, this Mediterranean Pasta Salad Recipe is packed with flavor for the perfect 20 minute side dish! Most of us already have a favorite pasta salad in our cooking repertoire. But do you have the perfect pasta salad that you can whip up for any summer party, picnic, or BBQ? I definitely didn’t before this!...
This Lentil Salad Recipe with Herbed Goat Cheese and Balsamic Vinaigrette is a delicious and impressive-looking but easy-to-make salad that packs a ton of nutrition! Do you have a birthday buddy? I do; actually, I have a few. (Give me a shout out if your birthday is also September 30th!) But I was an adult when I first met I someone with the same birthday as mine. (Which is pretty sad, right? That would have been so much fun as a kid!)...
Lazy Pierogi Casserole with Sauerkraut and Apple (aka Lazy Perogies) has all the flavor of a delicious perogy, but with a quick, easy, and healthier spin! Once the crisp chill of autumn settles in, my mom eases back into her routine of making big traditional comfort meals for our Sunday suppers, instead of casual dinners cooked on the grill. A few years back she started making a dish that she calls Lazy Perogies that she learned from an old friend of the family. (Growing up in Buffalo, New York, this is actually a fairly popular recipe!)...
This Apple Walnut Rainbow Swiss Chard Salad Recipe features sweet crisp apples, crunchy toasted walnuts, and colorful rainbow Swiss chard dressed with a honey apple vinaigrette. I swear, if you hop backwards 11 times facing the sunset every Sunday, you won’t be sick all week!, a friend told me. Hmm…I guess I can see how that would work, I replied with a smile on my face. (Not so much, really, but who am I to judge?)...
Sunny-side-up fried eggs, fresh salsa, avocado, queso fresco, and fresh herbs come together for a 10-minute Egg Skillet Breakfast Recipe that packs a punch of flavor and nutrition. Do you prefer a sweet or savory breakfast? Something like my Sous Vide Egg Bites with Bacon and Cheddar (it’s a Starbucks copycat!) are ideal. But truthfully, it doesn’t matter much to me, but the one requirement I have is that it’s fast. Cottage cheese, unsweetened yogurt, or even dinner leftovers are all fair game....
This Instant Pot Cauliflower Pav Bhaji comes together in less than 30 minutes, and uses a few easy tweaks to keep it a low carb Indian food meal while still keeping the integrity of the dish. If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, you already know how much I love Indian food. I make several Indian dishes at home, including Dal Makhani, Rogan Josh, Naan, and my personal favorite, Indian Butter Chicken....
Indian-Spiced Chickpea Curry (Chana Masala) is an uncomplicated, unpretentious, and completely satisfying vegan dish of chickpeas cooked until meltingly tender in an aromatic tomato-based sauce redolent with garlic, ginger, and exotic spices. I still remember the first Indian meal I ever had. I was a freshman at college and I was a little skeptical, mostly because I thought I didn’t like spicy food. But honestly, back then I didn’t really understand the difference between a well-spiced dish vs a spicy-hot dish. I was about to get schooled....
These kid-friendly lactose-free Easy Vegetarian Baked Taquitos are full of gooey cheese and Tex-Mex flavor, and couldn’t be easier to make! Every December, it’s easy to get swept up in the allure of baking in general and cookie-making in particular. But there’s a whole host of holiday parties going on and we need regular food too, right?!...
